I attached a dwg file of my Bobcad file. The part is 17-4PH stainless, it is a valve stem. My control is an Anilam Crusader ML if I can get it to work, if not, it may be ran from EMC2 or Mach3.
As you can see, I'll need to run both left hand and right hand tools, plus finish is important on the 7/16" dia. of the stem and the tapered sealing surfaces. So I need a right hand rough, right hand finish, left hand rough, and left hand finish tool path. Bobcad video shows how to do complete parts, and shows collision detection causing parts to not be cut, but they don't show how to change tools and clean up the areas missed by the previous tool.
Thanks! |
